I like the concept, but I think enumerating all of a site's whitelist
entries won't scale on bigger sites.

<http://openid.net/wiki/index.php/Group_Membership_Protocol>
It's a very simple protocol for querying whether a URI is a member of a
group without enumerating all of the members of the group.
